Environmental actions

The Port of Barcelona measures and controls the incidence of its activity and carries out and promotes improvement actions in all areas.

Environmental management, transversal

The Environment Department of the Barcelona Port Authority (APB) leads environmental management. But the system is transversal. It interacts with the functions of various departments in the organisation and also involves various activities and facilities. The Environmental Management System (EMS) of the Port of Barcelona makes it possible to plan, evaluate, improve and disseminate its environmental action. It is certified by the ISO 14.001 Standard: 2015 and recognised by voluntary international standards. And each year an Environmental Programme is drawn up that sets the specific goals and goals to be achieved. The programme follows the strategic lines of the current Port of Barcelona Strategic Plan and is also reflected in the Port's Sectoral Sustainability Plan.
